Sicherstellung der termingerechten Abnahme von Leistungsergebnissen

English translation: inspection / review

Tech/Engineering - Computers: Software
German term or phrase: Sicherstellung der termingerechten Abnahme von Leistungsergebnissen
The context relates to the main roles of a project manager and the above term is one of the bullet points. I'm not sure if "Abnahme" here should be translated as 'collected', e.g. "The project manager's roles include: - Ensuring that performance results are collected on schedule." 'Abnahme' is throwing me a bit because it can also mean 'accept', 'approve', 'inspect', etc. and I don't have any additional context to refer to here. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Laura,

I'd say it's 'approved' here. When I translate similar texts from English into German, the verb here would usually be 'approve'. Other than that, your sentence is fine: "Ensuring that performance results are approved on schedule".
